Boop!

Thanks for going to the emergency vet with me, Mr. Giraffe!

So much chinning!

My Mr. Giraffe!

No, he's my Mr. Giraffe!

I love how this gives you an idea of the size difference between Apollo and Naomi.

Finding our new normal.

Mr. Giraffe has been by Naomi's side ever since we lost Amos. She is so gentle with him and gives him all of the snuggles while we help him give her all the kisses back.

We set Amos' cage mat next to hers and she sleeps on it next to Mr. Giraffe, who has become her security blanket. She'll dig at and move her own mat, but Amos' mat is special and gets kisses too.

We've learned that we can't remove Amos' cage from the living room because Naomi will get so upset that she'll loudly meep, act completely spooked, and will not stop thumping no matter how much we try to console or distract her (and this was after almost a week as we didn't want to try to change her environment too quickly once we got home).

We're looking into finding her a friend because she seems like she'd do better with one than being a lone bun. Not sure of the logistics of doing that just yet as we've decided to buy my parents' house from the estate (our first home!) and it's going to be a process going back and forth between states for a while trying to get everything settled.

Thank you all so much for your kind words, love, and support--it really means a lot to us.

Giraffe kisses!

I caught the little munchkin gently licking Mr. Giraffe's cheek. She was being so careful to not tip him over!

Having a sad.

Naomi was looking in Amos' empty cage (we haven't removed it because she'll get even more upset if it's gone) and then did this. I helped Mr. Giraffe give her lots of kisses and snuggles along with some noogies of my own. Thankfully her bouts of grief are becoming fewer and farther between. It's just going to take time.

Our brave girls!

Apollo and Naomi went to the vet on Monday for their RHDV2 boosters and check-ups. Baby Apollo now weighs 2.2 pounds and Naomi clocks in at 4.8 pounds. Everything went well and they even gave the little munchkins baby carrots as a snack for being such good little girls! (This was Apollo's first taste of carrot and she absolutely loved it.)

My giraffe!

Naomi is letting everyone know that Mr. Giraffe is HER best friend and not ours.
